timeout occured - Githubissues

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. reaver -i mon0 -b 20:2b:c1... -c 6 -E -S -l 60 -vv
2. tried it on many AP's around with different options

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
[+] Waiting for beacon from 20:2B:C1:77:5B:55
[+] Switching mon0 to channel 6
[+] Associated with 20:2B:C1... (ESSID: BTHub3..)

[!] WARNING: Receive timeout occurred
[+] Trying pin 56439823...

always the same response, timeout and also it keeps trying the same pin but i 
guess that's due to the timeout

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
bt5 r1 vmware
ralink rt2800usb

Please provide any additional information below.
all of the ap's i have tried are very close and have top signal

thanks

Take a look in "SupportedWirelessDrivers" may be you should try another Wlan 
device

There has been issues with the rt2800usb. Can you provide a pcap of the attack?

I would suggest recompiling with the latest compat-wireless drivers.  See the 
BT 5 wiki article here: 
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Drivers#rt2800usb

This worked for me.

Like pahtzo said, this could be a driver issue, but try with the latest SVN 
code too.

just tried both things no luck, can post a new cap file if you like with new 
drivers and SVN code? also since ive done this i can no longer get walsh to 
work even with -C -c 6 / --ignore-fcs

Original comment by dub...@gmail.com on 6 Jan 2012 at 3:41

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

maybe the same issue as here

http://code.google.com/p/reaver-wps/issues/detail?id=50

I´m using BT4 R2 with the rt2800usb driver and r69.
The driver works fine in this type of OS. 
I had cracked many APs in this constellation.

its driving me crazy, saying that during the patching

get this error at the start.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

I got the same modules warning and it worked fine.  You mentioned you're 
running BT5 in a VM, are you actually installing BT5 to a VMDK or just booting 
it up via the ISO and running it? those drivers won't install unless you're 
running BT5 from a persistent hard disk installation.

Original comment by pah...@gmail.com on 6 Jan 2012 at 2:41

yes ive installed it on to my drive, rarely run from live cd now. what did you 
do at the end? did you manually select the driver or did you just reboot?

Original comment by dub...@gmail.com on 6 Jan 2012 at 2:55

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Like i said bevore it is easyer to try a another Wireless USB adapter. I found 
one on the used market a D-Link DWL-G122 HW ver. C1 who has this rt73usb 
chipset it has no N funcionalities but it does not matter. Or go ask your 
friends for used Wlan adapters.

For me it is a mistery why some will work and other ones not even when they 
work fine with aircrack they don't do with reaver.

yes, it is strange. would have thought if they work with aircrack and have 
injection they would work in reaver no problems like you said. maybe in the 
future it will be compatible? i dont mind testing things and would love this to 
work for me one day. seems a nice and powerful tool

I can proof you it was working on a Linksys WRT120N and on a Netgear WNR2000v2. 
I just tested differen Wlan devices and only my internal device was working so 
i had to manipulate the Antenna...

Original comment by patricks...@gmail.com on 6 Jan 2012 at 3:43

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

@patrick, dubite: aircrack has their own capture/injection library, while 
Reaver uses libpcap. We're working with the aircrack team to get Reaver 
integrated into the aircrack suite so that Reaver will use all of their 
libraries as well.

Original comment by patricks...@gmail.com on 6 Jan 2012 at 4:39

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

For those who want's to make just testing their Wlan Card, if you have the pin 
from the AP, start reaver once and break it just right after then, now reaver 
has randomized a file that you can manipulate /etc/reaver/xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.wpc 
and put the right pin number in it in the you can put the first 4 digit at the 
6th line then go to the 3 digit section and put digit 5 to 7 somewhere, so you 
can test program and Card little bit faster.

Original comment by patricks...@gmail.com on 6 Jan 2012 at 4:48

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

You can also tell reaver to skip brute forcing the first four digits completely 
by  specifying them with the --pin option:

reaver -i mon0 -b 00:01:02:03:04:05 -vv --pin=1234

Reaver will use the digits '1234' as the first half of the pin and only attempt 
to brute force the second half. The second half only has 1,000 possibilities, 
so it goes much faster this way provided you already know the first half of the 
pin.

I am not sure may be it help's, when i use my backtrack like a human being 
without playing arraound on wlan, and want just get connected to a known 
Wireless Network it takes a huge time to get connected and sometimes it does 
nothing even when the Accesspoint is on the same desk :-(. Same happens when i 
change connection. If i do same on Windows i click it and it's done. May be 
there is something common.

@cheff i think you right that libpcap can make those big troubles i have this 
supported rt73usb adapter and ath9k both are listed as working and on my tests 
only the ath9k was giving me good results, it seems to be a lotterie if it 
works or not. May be all of those different errors only occours of that libpcap.

I originally had the same issue as described above, however after rebooting BT5

now without the time out issue.

I am comming back to the connectivety problem, i had this same problems with 
Kubuntu 8.10, and it seems to be the same problem until 10.04 (also used by 
Backtrack 5). Iknow when i reboot the system that would help but this is not a

That's what i found

some how i have managed to get it working after rebooting and trying again the 
latest SVN. it took 8 hours to get to 0.89% though, strange because i have 
great signal strength and very close to the AP. I am getting quite a lot of 
timeouts still and 'last message not processed properly' is there anything i 
can do to speed it up a little?

Ok, seems that backtrack 5 has incompatible/old drivers.
I fixed this by doing the following:
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Compat-wireless
Don't download the compat-wireless set mentioned in the above link but download 
the latest available from the kernel.org site (see below)
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2012-01-
13.tar.bz2

Basically the fastest way is to only build only your required driver and 
install it.
reboot and you should have a working reaver

@Erick: I am going to try this in case it fixes iwlagn issues.

Since I'm not too used to Linux, can you tell me if I'm missing something in 
the procedure listed below? I added "??" before lines I'm doubting most, 
they're about applying or not BT5 injection patches, since I don't know if they 
are compatible with the new compat drivers.

- Download latest version from there: 
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/

?? - Download these injection patches: 
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/patches/wireless-patches-2.6.35.8.tar.gz

- Run in a shell:

# tar jxpf compat-wireless-*
?? # tar xpf wireless-patches-2.6.35.8.tar.gz
# cd compat-wireless-*
?? # patch -p1 < ../wireless-patches/IWLAGN_PATCH_FILE.patch
?? (or is it patch -p0 ? How can I know ?)
# ./scripts/driver-select { IWLAGN_FILE_NAME }
# make
# make install
# make wlunload

- Ready to go, no need to reboot (if reboot is required it's important to tell 
me because I'm running from Live USB and nothing is written in it, so a reboot 
should erase driver install)

Thanks! I'll report in SupportedWirelessDrivers if it fixes iwlagn issues.

Hi b1957,
I actually didn't do any patching since the compat-wireless drivers were 
working out of the box. Like I suggested grab the latest set from kernel.org 
and build and install them. So you are right I think that the ?? could be 
removed.

Possibly Didik's "ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/build" is the fix

In any case if I don't post in SupportedWirelessDrivers, consider that updated

I have the same problem against a WRT54G2, after some tries the router locks 
itself out, since I don't have any signal issues and the lock seems to last 
until the router is restarted I assume this is the router's fault?

Original comment by dreamcas...@gmail.com on 19 Jan 2012 at 1:12

I don't know what firmware version you're router is running. Others have 
(reportedly) successfully attacked the WRT54g2. If Reaver is indefinitely 
reporting that the AP is locked, you might try the --ignore-locks option. Some 
APs say that they are locked but don't really lock themselves.

I have heard that the WRT54G2's are prone to falling over (I don't have one 
myself to test). You may need to reboot the router and try again, limiting how 
fast Reaver does pin attempts.
